Wii question?

Does it come with a vga cable or will there be one avalible? I'd rather not have to buy a £40 for a progressive component to vga converter.

I seriously hope they bring out a vga or dvi cable as they are better than component.

Considering it won't output HD, VGA or DVI probably won't look too great.

Vga won't look any worse that component and dvi is lossless so it would be better, my monitor doesn't support component so I need vga.

Is the pal version going to be 576p instead of 480p?

No, PAL/NTSC doesn't apply to HD, it will be 480p.

It isn't hd though and even in hd theres still pal 50fps and ntsc 60fps even though its at the same resolution, lots of vga boxes have 576p mode designed for consoles.

To clarify it DOES have HD

but only 480p

Progressive scan != HD

A PC monitor isnt big enough to use a wii on really, you wont be sitting down when using the wii either, unless you're a bloater.

The 19" monitor in my room is the biggest thing I've got here, plus most of the games I will be playing initally will be the gc and n64 games with the ps2 controller until the wii games come down in price. It's a complete lack of effort on nintendos part.
